In this week's episode, I am excited to welcome Rita Bozi. Rita is a multidisciplinary Somatic Relational trauma-informed facilitator and psychedelic therapist, author\xa0and podcast co-host. With twenty-eight years\u2019 experience in the healing arts, she is the director of Brilliant Healing Inc. She works with individuals, couples and groups, leading unique, experiential and creative healing retreats. She is training individuals in her 3 Module program: Somatic Relational Trauma-informed Practices for Medicine-Assisted Therapy and was guest faculty at The Synthesis Institute.\n\n\n\nRita is a colleague of Dr. Gabor Mat\xe9 and studied his "Compassionate Inquiry\u201d model as an advanced student while on retreat in Mexico. She was mentored by the late visionary Carol-Anne Bickerstaff and is an advanced graduate of Sharon Stanley\u2019s Somatic Transformation method. She has a passion for Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Authentic Movement, Feldenkrais, Craniosacral Therapy, and self-responsible communication. She is a Consultant Facilitator of the One Brain System, a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, has a Diploma in Shiatsu Therapy and is a former instructor at Mount Royal College in Calgary and Langara College in Vancouver.\n\n\n\nThough she is now a retired dancer and actor she will always be a creator and performer. Her first novel,\xa0When I Was Better\xa0is in the running for the 2022 Goethe Prize for Late Historical Fiction. Her co-hosted podcast,\xa0PUNK Therapy: Psychedelic Underground Neural Kindness, draws on her clinical work with psychedelic medicine in combination with somatic relational trauma-informed practices. She is currently working on a new book, PUNK Therapy; in it, she documents the often complex yet always deeply rewarding journey of client and medicine facilitator and their parallel journeys in healing. Born to Hungarian refugees who fled during the 1956 Revolution, Rita honours and remembers the long line of serfs and peasants who are her ancestors. She is devoted to the work it takes to become a kind and wise human, decolonizing the body and cultivating cherished and cooperative communities.\n\n\n\nRita has found her private practice and creative endeavours to be mutually complementary. She brings love, commitment and curiosity to both, inspiring others to live embodied, creative, trans-parent and soulful lives.\n\n\n\nIn this episode, Rita and I discuss psychedelic assisted therapy and the benefits this form of therapy can offer. Rita and I explored the difference between the notion of drugs and medicine. We walked through the risks associated with psychedelics and how caution must be exercised with doses, setting, environment and ensuring there is someone who can guide an individual embarking on a journey. We also covered the spiritual aspect of psychedelics as a ritual or ceremony. \n\n\n\nRita can be found:\n\nbrillianthealingsystems.com\n\nlinktr.ee/ritabozi\n\nSpotify:\xa0https://open.spotify.com/show/6hN0cXnROdCeExH8ZT737C\n\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/furkhan-dandia/support\nLearn more about your ad choices.
